[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheNatclanwy:
It's been a while since I researched this but from what I can remember, all of the apps like torch that utilize the flash for a flash light activate the camera as well as the flash so the camera will try to focus even though you aren't trying to take a a pic. I have never figured out why my the camera focus mechanism flakes out one time but not the next seems to do it worse on certain rom versions than but I have never flashed backwards to see if the problem returned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
It appears to be a mechanical issue with the camera's focus motor. It may need to be replaced if it really bothers you. I've heard some parts for the s2 are easy to repair yourself, but I don't know if this is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrusterX:
Hi All,

i received my device 7 days ago. The Devices worked perfectly.

Yesterday, i deciced to test the Canogenmod Nightly for about one day and then i want to revert back to stock. i downloaded the Image using Nexus 4 Toolkit, i flashed it manually with the flash-all.bat. I never flashed a custom Recovery, only temp-booted it with fastboot.

But after restoring the Stock rom - it is very unstable, Lots of warm reboot (X bootsplah during usage or idle mode) unstable WIFI.

so i think Google removed the Factory Image because of it (and the LTE Story, of course).

maybe someone took a full backup from the original supplied rom, (GSM Europe)

Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks

Edit: i tested with both Factory Image (4.2 and 4.2.1)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bar81:
Isn't the stock rom what was on your phone before you flashed (and was fine)?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrusterX:
there must be somthing different, I didn't took a full Backup from the Original preinstalled ROM, because i thought:" i don't care, if i want to revert to stock ROM, i can download it..."

i think, i learned my lession :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheSurgeon:
On my note 2 I accepted the OTA update and some how I rooted it with the OTA Root keeper. Evertything works fine but I cannot install custom recovery. What woould be the best way to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery now.

I also have galaxy s3 and droid bionic both are rooted and custom roms installed and working great.

I have been with Verizon 16 years and it's abuot time to change but I think there all the same anymore $$$
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
If you took the ota then you can not unlock your bootloader as of this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
why on earth are folks so hell bent on ota's???? fyi when you buy a device that came locked but was unlocked by devs at xda, YOU NEVER EXCEPT ANY OTA! It has been posted all over this forum...please research before you do anything!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
Totally agree! I won't even update an app until I know what the changes are, and even then I usually wait to see if any issues arise with the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Doesn't matter how many times you warn people no to install an OTA because it has a bootloader, someone won't listen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
I would never consider taking a ota until after our devs have a chance to check it out. Besides if you run a custom rom your developer will most likely be updating to the new build and you know you can safely flash it.

Besides I know verizon is more worried about blocking crap than they are on their real updates.

Forget the security update and give us official 4.1.2 screw verizon! Verizon ota usually means bad things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
4.1.2 has very little to offer us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
I agree with that. However my point was instead of Verizon spending their time improving their devices they would rather spend their money and time trying to figure out how to screw us. I know 4.1.2 brings little to the table but maybe if they were not working on locking the bootloader they could improve on the builds instead. I would still rather have 4.1.1 over 4.2.1 any day.

Hey guys. I want to do a quick comparison and I need your help.

Can someone please take a pic of the back of the phone without the back cover and battery.

Basically show me what's written under the battery. I want to compare it to mine.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp50:
The battery surely isn't the right one.

What's under the battery?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
It looks kinda a weird. I don't know if it should be in chinese
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmato27:
Its purchased from an online retailer that claims to ship devices from global markets. The actual battery is the correct one even though the label states otherwise. The phone was shipped with Chinese as its default language.

What concerns me is that it looks like there's something under the label (if you look closely) and that fact that it says 1300mA instead of 3100mA. And shouldn't it mention that its made in Korea like my GS3 does?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutzm05:
Looks legit on : http://www.imei.info/?imei=355251056775893 .

But that font used for "Made by Samsung" is so fake :). Maybe the phone it's made from different components and that label is made by the one who assambled it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
But that is not the battery but battery compartment.

Mine says the same. Post booted photos and other ones from settings-about phone

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

It must be legit. It has q cqpacity of 32gb?

http://www.imei.info/?imei=355251055577589

This is from your imei. And better hide it so no one steals it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmato27:
Can't the IMEI number be faked? It looks like there's two labels on top of each other which is quite puzzling.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
just connect it to kies. if it reckons i then it is genuine samsung. if it doesn't then i m sorry for you

Here's a pic of mine and the battery as well (relevant ID's have been blanked out). Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
i have a note 2 which i think is exactly the same as shown on the picture.

whats bothering me was the label on the back of the phone regarding the battery.

i have this phone for more than a month now. since i got i rooted it using exynosabuse and i was able to flash OmegaROM11. also before i rooted my phone it was being recognize by kies and i was able to register it too on samsung website.

where you able to root and flash custom rom with your phone?

i would appreciate your response, i can confirm if our device are legit.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
If you could register it on Sammy's site, then it's going to be legit...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
Yeah.. being able to register mu phone on sammy's site convinced me that my phone is legit.

However... whenI check my imei on imei.info, it says that my phone is 32Gb version but its actully the 16Gb version.

Also I saw someone selling a replica of note 2 online. There was a picture of the back showing the imei when i checked it on imei.info the imie exist...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
Yes, it's 100% legit, everything works. I only posted a pic because the OP asked for a pic to compare against.

There's another thread where a guy bought a fake Note 2, and it's visually quite different from a Note 2 on closer inspection (ie. bezel size, chrome rings, button wonky, OS version, etc).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
Thanks for the reply mate.

Where you able to gather some info why is the back label is like that or where could the phone came from?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
What is your question? Why does a genuine Note 2 look like a genuine Note 2? Or are you asking about the fake note 2 in the other thread?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieGarg:
Ur note 2 is 100% legit... the 1300mA is ur charger rating not battery....... battery rating is in mAh not in mA.

So all good & Enjoy......
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tellif_42:
Hey, another noob here, hope I'm not hijacking the thread or anything...

I would normally be able to tell if it's fake through packaging, etc, but this particular cases doen't have any. IMEI matches up, baseband and kernel look legit (and wouldn't it brick the phone if that was loaded onto a fake?)... But I just don't have enough experience in this field to tell. If it's real it's a great deal :)

Anyway, here's the link :

http://www.trademe.co.nz/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/other/auction-576709625.htm

Any other advice you could give me (stuff to ask the seller, etc?)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
I think that's a fake. It claims to be an N7100, yet there are no charging pins for inductive charging, just 2 blanking plates. Also the baseband and build numbers do not look right to me.

There also should be a tiny screw below and between the camera lens and flash LED, but there's none visible on your photo.

Finally, he doesn't have a SIM inserted. I'd ask him to show pics of it inserted and the device connected to a cell. It's not impossible that this is a store demo unit, which can't usually be connected to a network.

However, at least the guy is being honest and saying he's not sure himself it its geniune, therefore selling it as a clone...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makkeonmies:
fake and nothing else, its missing wireless charging "plugs" which real N7100 have.(rigth side of the battery next to screw)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JezzeB:

Can someone help me tell if this phone is real or fake? Sorry for reviving an old post

Edit: Nevermind its a fake galaxy is spelled wrong on the sticker
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
i think its legit..

the easiest way to check is to try Air View with Spen. :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
Its obviously 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% fake because the word "Galaxy" is misspelled "Galayx". How could possibly think its legit? I'm also not sure why you think Air View can't be replicated?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
Coz mine got those misspelled sticker too when I got it.. :D but its a real NOTE 2.

as for the Spen feature... yes i think It will be hard for others to replicate it. there are lots of NOTE 2 clones from where I come and non of it has the Spen feature.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I did a quick comparison with mine and noticed that the one pictured above doesn't have wireless charging ports as indicated in the picture (numbered 1) and then the bottom parts(numbered 2 and 3) are different compared to mine. It would be a shocker if this was original, hard to believe Samsung, the giant that competes with the likes of Apple, LG,HTC and tons of other companies would miss out on a typo.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
I am sure Samsung would not misspell the name of their own phone. I think you too might have a clone :confused: Also look how large the bezel is on the bottom, on the real note2 its less than half this wide.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatronics:
ok.. the dude got a fake Note 2. :D:good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
Airview clearly would tell if it's original or not. Period. And mostly you can just spot everything by looking at the about section itself IMO. GPU and everything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3ssejamez:

adb backup solution

Answering my own question...

adb backup -all

leaving the system to write its own default filename (backup.ab) seems to work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
If you do this, its it pretty much the same as a ClockworkMod backup, or does it not get everything? (I know there's a flag to control whether /sdcard is backed up.)

Edit: I think through some research I answered my own question. adb backup doesn't backup /system, so it's half as useful as it could be.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] croques:
CW saves a complete system backup of everything, meaning a whole ROM and its environment can be restored.

adb restore puts back all the Applications after installing a new ROM.

but it does backup system applications by default using the -all flag.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Well, that is what the documentation says, but based on the small size of the backup, I don't see how it could be true. I'll experiment more later.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mercxda:
Dear all,

I have a x10 mini,

With latest flashtool i rooted it, unlocked the bootloader and installed freexperia recovery 001.

Now i have to install cwm.

According to this

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105745

I have to flash the cwm-amend.zip

How is this flashing to be done? Using flashtool or freexperia recovery?

Last question:

I downloaded nAa gb kernel 14.

I know I have to flash this via flashtool, but it's a zip file, not a ftf .

Can I just change the extension of it??

Thanx :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Yes, just rename the zip to .ftf and put it in the firmwares folder, once you've lfashed it you have CWM too, it's included in the kernel, so you won't have to worry about the other thing :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mercxda:
R: From freexperia to CWM.

Thanks :)

just a doubt : I did a backup with freexperia (four img files: data, cache, nandroid and system)..

If I flash naa's gb kernel and cwm

will I be able to restore those freexperia img files under cwm? will the old Sony kernel take the place of naa's??

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You can restore it, but it won't put the old kernel back, so you could get a stock kernel from somewhere (to flash after you've restored the backup), or go back to stock, root, install recovery again and then restore the backup.
